Silicone Multicore Cable is resistant to UV and ozone, has a low specific weight therefore important in aerospace and shipbuilding industries. Silicone Multicore Cable is durable to a variety of chemicals and oils even at elevated temperatures, outperforming other elastomers. SIlicon coated Silicone Multicore Cable are widely used as battery wires, led lighting, and everywhere where wire stay in constant movement. Silicone Multicore Cable are lighter and more flexible than PVC coated wires. Our Silicone Multicore Cable retain their properties of temperatures ranging from -60°C to 250°C.

Silicone Multicore Cable Specifications

These are silicone multicore cables for use at the areas where extreme temperature changes. Silicone cables are halogen – free cables and are especially suited for installation in power stations. They have also found their use in the steel producing industries, aviation industry, ship building as well as in ceramic, glass and cement factories. Due to elastical characteristic of core insulation, these are used as flexible connection cable.

Properties

Advantages : Hardly changes of dielectric strength and the insulation resistance also at high temperatures, high ignition or flash point, in
case of fire, forms an insulating layer of SiO2
Resistant to : High molecular oils, fats from vegetables and animals, alcohols, plasticisers and clopenes, diluted acids, dyes and salt dissolution, oxidation substances, tropical influences and weather, lake water, oxygen and UV.
Halogen – Free : According to IEC 60754 – 2.
Behaviour in Fire : Flame propagation test according to EN 60332 – 1 – 2.
For laying as a fixed installation only in open or ventilated pipe systems as well as in ducts. Otherwise the mechanical properties of the Silicone are reduced by the enclosed air at temperatures exceeding 90°C.

Silicone Multicore Cable Specification

Extreme temperature range:

(-40oC to 105oC) can withstand the extremes of automotive environments

What is Silicone Multicore Cable ?

Silicone Multicore Cable are characterized by their high temperature resistance up to + 250°C combined with permanent flexibility. Due to the reticulated molekular structure keep their original form even with temperature influence. Multi Core Silicone Cables are halogen-free. Futhermore, it is the only material on silicium basis treated by us with which the maintenance of function in case of fire can be reached. High Temperature Multicore Silicone Cable are for example used in steel works, rolling mills and foundries for the internal wiring of lamps or in glass and ceramic treatment.

Types of Silicon Cables

Silicone insulating sleeve, non-fibrous

Silicone twin cable

Silicone single conductor

Silicone round strands especially for use on rail vehicles

Silicone sheathed cables

Silicone sheathed cables acc. to UL and CSA

Silicone single conductors acc. to DIN VDE 0250 part 502

Silicone single conductors with reference to DIN EN 50525-2-41

Silicone low-voltage connection cable

Excellent stability at extreme temperatures

Exceptional electrical insulating characteristics

Our Silicone Multicore Cable have high dielectric strengths, high resistance to dielectric fatigue with low dielectric constants combined with low dissipation factors. These properties combined with excellent moisture resistance ensure long term reliability even when operating under moist and corrosive conditions.

Weathering resistance

Our Multicore silicone rubber insulated cable have excellent resistance to ozone, UV light, radiation, arcing and corona discharge, and will remain relatively unaffected even after long term exposure to extreme weathering conditions.

Low specific gravity

The low specific gravity of many silicone rubbers, ensures that a Flexible silicone rubber cable multicore cable is lighter than its equivalent plastic or rubber cable.

Silicone rubbers are extremely inert

Silicone Multicore Cable will not support fungal or bacterial growth and are for this reason, ideally suited to food and medical applications.

Flame retardant

Silicone Multicore Cable do not readily support burning. Specially formulated compounds have been developed to further improve the flame retardant characteristics of our cables ensuring they will meet all recognised vital flame tests.

Non conductive ash

Capable of working through and after intense fire. The silicone will ultimately decompose to a brittle Silica ash which has excellent dielectric characteristics in its own right. Containment of the brittle ash by use of a glass braid sheath for example will ensure continued performance of the cable even under such extreme conditions. The Multi Core Silicone Cables would need to be replaced following such an extreme event for safety and performance reasons.

These properties, combined with excellent moisture resistance, ensure long-term reliability even when operating under moist and corrosive conditions.

Weathering resistance: High Temperature Multicore Silicone Cable have excellent resistance to ozone, UV light, radiation, arcing and corona discharge, and will remain relatively unaffected even after long term exposure to extreme weathering conditions.

Low specific gravity: The low specific gravity of silicone rubber ensures that a Flexible silicone rubber cable multicore cable is lighter than its equivalent plastic or a normal rubber cable.

Multi Core Silicone Cables are extremely inert: Silicone rubber will not support fungal or bacterial growth and, for this reason, is ideally suited to food and medical applications.

Silicone Multicore Cable Application

Such Silicone Multicore Cable are suitable for laying indoors and in the electrical cabinets, however, the cables can’t bear larger external mechanical forces. Silicone Multicore Cable is used for the signal transmission, controlling and measuring system of the electric apparatus.
